44 confirmed artists for 2009 Art Invitational

We now have what could be the final list of 42 contributing artists for the 2009 Poetry Scores Art Invitational, which will be held Friday, Nov. 13 at The Luminary.

This year's Invitational is dedicated to The Sydney Highrise Variations by the Australian poet Les Murray. Each artist will be making work in response to the poem and titling their work after a verbatim piece of language from the poem. I have included titles when I know them.

All work will be sold that night at The Luminary on silent auction, with proceeds split three ways between artist, venues and Poetry Scores, a Missouri nonprofit corporation dedicated to translating poetry into other media.
